MUMBAI: The actor Rajkummar Rao talked candidly about his lowly origins, stating that although his family never experienced poverty, there were times when his professors helped for his tuition. Rajkummar thanked his mother for doing her hardest to provide him with a normal upbringing, adding that on occasion, when circumstances were tight, she would even borrow money from family members.

Speaking of his challenging early days, Rao said, “I grew up in a joint family, I have two older siblings. I had humble beginnings. I didn’t grow up with money, so that financial stress was always there. It wasn’t like we were dying of hunger, but we were just about scraping by.”
He added, “For schoolbooks and tuition fees, she’d ask our relatives for help sometimes. That’s how she raised us. There was a two or three-year period where school teachers paid our fees because there were three of us and there was no money for school fees. They didn’t want us to be taken out of school, so they chipped in for us.”
He concluded nonetheless, “But I had a fun childhood, I was always outdoors”
On the work front, Rao was recently seen in Stree 2. The movie, which released on August 15, has already made over Rs 100 crore.
